Anyone played the scarface game yet?
I 'obtained' this the other day, and haven't really got into it that far. It's essentially like GTA Vice City, but with more control over your empire (I think). Like essentially you can obtain shop fronts to deal your drugs through, then you have to hire goons to protect your shops from other gangs etc, and fight for the turf / right to deal in a area etc.
Meanwhile you can pay off the cops to lose any heat on you, and have to launder your money before you actually get to keep it (If you die before laundering you lose all your dirty cash).
Cars = usual GTA driving stuff. Some parts of the game are below GTA Standards, but some are above GTA standard.
For example the combat, in GTA you randomly press lock on and fire, and it's confusing where your shooting and who your hitting etc, no real skill in it.
In this, you press lock and it 'kinda' locks onto the person, but then you get another cross hair where you can aim at parts of their body, like head, arms, groin etc or get close and do a proper execution.
Story essentially picks up from the end of the film, a bit of a what if he didn't die at the end. As I say, I'm not that far into it, but looks like it could be a bit more fun later when your sorta running your own drug production empire, rather than just dealing to small dealers etc.
Though I must admit when I first started playing it - I thought it was poo, but then when it starts giving you more freedom it got better.

take over the world I think is the goal - 'The world is yours' - but your limited to miami
I've not played too far yet, so don't know what the full features are.
I also don't like the fact you can't just go up and kill innocent civilians (like in GTA) you can beat em up, but not shoot them.
You can kill gangs / police / bad guys / anyone who you piss off enough / drug dealers etc.
I figured out yesterday if you go up to people in the game and press the taunt button when just walking around normally, he has conversations with people.
Every bird I approach and do it to, he tries to hit on! but fails big time.
Could this be because "first you get the money, then you get the power - Then you get the women." and I have none at the mo

To be honest, GTA was a fake version of this. I loved this game.
